It's Affirmation Time
By Ali Berlin Tuesday October 20, 2009Affirmation:
I always have everything I need. There is more than enough of everything for everyone at all times.

Do you know that your financial status has nothing to do with money or your career? You will shift your capacity to acquire wealth by shifting your beliefs about youself and life itself. Your assets will transform as you begin to recognize and release withheld beliefs about your self, family, friends, strangers, money, addictions, shopping, greed, poverty, stealing, giving, sex, love, anger, pain, sadness, beauty, weight, control, safety and the other invented measures of your magnificence.
Do an inventory of your perceptions in order to determine what you could let go of -- and if you discover thoughts that you don't like, just be patient with yourself. There is nothing inherently wrong with your opinions. However, the issues emerge when your opinions start running your life without your consent (hence the importance of the inventory)! Be curious about them but remember to witness yourself rather than assess yourself. It's easy and familiar to get caught up in the pattern of attacking and wronging yourself so be aware of the temptation to go there. It's another way to derail your affirmative actions on the path to spiritual and financial recovery.
Remember, talk is cheap until you walk the talk. The ROI of your radical honesty and self reflection is guaranteed (and it doesn't cost anything but some willingness on your part). What are you waiting for?
Questions:
Get real already! Write, discuss and express the true answers to these questions in order to unlock the treasures within you.
- When you see people with money, how do you feel/what do you think?
- When you see people with much less money, how do you feel/what do you think?
- Do you want people to think that you have money or not? What would that mean about you either way? Are you indifferent?

Thanks for your responses to the article. I find that no matter how often I do my own inventory (on paper, in conversation, through prayer, etc.), there's always more that surfaces. I notice that all the "challenges" I face in the other aspects of my life can be mirrored by the way I relate with money and all that I have associated with it. It is an endless source of information, healing, growth, forgiveness and spiritual prosperity.
With my clients, friends, family and sometimes with myself, there is a strong tendency to avoid discussing money, salaries, assets, debts, inheritance, celebration and despair. However, it's miraculous when I see the emotional liberation and (unexpected sources of) financial compensation that generously compensate for everyone's willingness to take the plunge and open up.
I'd love to hear any other topics or questions around money, self-worth, self-perception or inventories which you'd like me to address, or anything you'd like to share.
With love and abundance,
Ali
Thanks so much!
